Naples Big Band (formerly known as the Music Makers Show Band) is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization supporting music education in our local schools; we welcome your donations. Contact us about sponsoring a concert in your name or the name of your business!

Donations collected during intermission are used to offset the cost of stage rental and other band expenses, but are mainly invested into our Annual High School Music Education Program fund. The more we collect, the more we can give!

MAIN GOAL

The Naples Big Band is a not-for-profit, tax-exempt organization with a dual mission:

To promote, preserve, and perform American big band music

To financially support music education in area schools

Without committed sponsors, our mission will fail. Can you participate?
